Sonnenfeld Back to ‘Saving the World’

Director Barry Sonnenfeld (‘Men in Black’, ‘Men in Black II’) has signed on to direct and produce the action comedy ‘The How-to Guide for Saving the World’.

One of the first things I read when I joined the manly William Morris Agency was Ben David Grabinski’s script. I loved the writing, and the concept: what would happen if one afternoon, the secret group that protects Earth from alien invaders was wiped out? Fortunately, they left behind an instruction manual for saving Earth. Unfortunately, a non-action-hero guy not unlike me, in terms of manliness, and a woman who hates him, find the book, and have to save the planet from an impending attack.” Sonnenfeld continued, “I had a great experience making ‘Get Shorty’ with MGM/UA and could not be more excited to be working with them again.”

What do you think? Â  Should Sonnenfeld attach himself to another action/comedy about alien invaders? Â  Do you think, as I do, that this script should be morphed into a ‘Men in Black III’? Â  Let us know by commenting below!
